Ice Cream Science

Ice Cream making in science class! Students studied pressure, force, and other science-related concepts not captured in images. It was fun and students loved this unit!

VVMS Clubs

Although VVMS Clubs are all wrapped up, there were a few last pictures that needed to be shared. Thank you again to all who helped to make these Clubs possible!

Help Valley View Unified reach their goal by March 29th!!

Each year, the Polar Plunge challenges thousands of brave jumpers at numerous locations around the state. It’s a great way for everyone—individuals, organizations and businesses—to get involved in supporting Special Olympics Minnesota. All funds raised go towards programming and events for more than 8,000 athletes statewide.

Valley View Unified has accepted that challenge and will be braving the Minnesota elements: Minnesota Nice meets Minnesotan Ice!

Coffee Donations Wanted: Please consider donating this precious resource to the well-deserving staff and faculty at VVMS!

Lunch and Hall Monitors

Come see what the fuss is all about, our kids are great and you make a difference!

We have loved having our VVMS parents volunteer during passing times and at lunch! Please, please please, keep coming in and volunteering to supervise.

We are offering work spaces for those who want to come during our passing time. This allows our parents to supervise halls during transition time but then hop back into an office to work. We're happy to accommodate!

For reference, here is the VV Daily Schedule.

Thank you!!

Working with middle school requires the right temperament. We mostly just need you to be smiley, and cheerful. We avoid practices that involve screaming or yelling. We prefer softer approaches that are kind but firm. Individuals volunteering are able to suspend bias and judgment and can offer support for all students. If you think this is you? Please help us in adding a greater eco-system like approach to how we guide and shepherd our young Hornets.

Parking for Parent Visitors

Parents and caregivers, if you are visiting Valley View and parking in the visitor spots, please check in at the front desk and a clipboard will be provided for you to enter your vehicle information. This will prevent any boots or ticketing.

Thank You!
